Have nothing. Will Travel.

[Christophe Noel]

Last month I was all geared up to do a dry run to test my gear set up for a 2600 mile trip I had planned for this month. I was going to take a short jaunt up to the Grand Canyon, just 100 miles north, and camp for the night. The night before departure, I was at an dinner party with our regular Prescott overlander group and off the cuff invited Ray and Matt of Overland International to join me.

The next morning, with just a few minutes to get ready, these two dudes packed up virtually nothing and headed out behind me. It was impressive. I had two hard cases stuffed to the max, PLUS a tail bag. Matt had a backpack. Ray had a nice canvas duffel bag that wasn't even full.

Neither even bothered with a sleeping bag. I asked Ray what was in his bag and he replied, "Uh...some smoked oysters, crackers and a Nemo GoGo Elite bivy."

Awesome.

Thanks guys, it was a fun trip.
